View full profile →

Millard Fillmore (1800–1874) was the 13th President of the United States, serving from 1850 to 1853 after the death of Zachary Taylor. A Whig from New York, he is best known for signing the Compromise of 1850, including the Fugitive Slave Act, which sought to preserve the Union but deepened sectional tensions. His presidency is often overshadowed by his moderate, unionist stance during the antebellum crisis.
